Have you tried it? Autodesk Estimate: Improve Accuracy with Cloud-based Estimating

If you’re still juggling spreadsheets, disconnected tools, and manual data entry for your estimates, it’s time to rethink how you estimate. Estimating is one of the most critical and to be honest a stressful part of preconstruction. Tight deadlines, fluctuating material costs, intense competition, and the pressure to deliver accurate bids can make the process overwhelming. But what if you could simplify it all?

Introducing Autodesk Estimate. The cloud-based estimating solution, which connects 2D and 3D takeoff quantities to costs, materials, and labor calculation in one connected platform, eliminating silos and reducing risk. Autodesk Estimate helps you move faster, collaborate better, and win more work.

Why Connected Estimating Matters?

Disconnected workflows slow you down and introduce errors. When you’re manually transferring quantities from 2D and 3D takeoffs solutions into your estimating system, every extra step is a chance for mistakes. Autodesk Estimate changes that by linking takeoff and estimating seamlessly:

• Simply perform 2D and 3D takeoffs in Autodesk Takeoff within the Preconstruction experience in Autodesk Construction Cloud.
• When ready, send quantities directly to your estimate, no more copy-paste chaos.
• When quantities change for connected line items, you get an automatic alert. You no longer need to hunt down what shifted.
• Work from a centralized cost library to keep pricing consistent and accurate across teams.
• This connected approach doesn’t just save time; it transforms the estimator’s role from number cruncher to strategic partner. With real-time collaboration and version control, your team can align quickly on pricing strategies and deliver competitive proposals with confidence.

Key Benefits You’ll Love

• Fewer manual tasks, more high-value work: Helps automate repetitive steps so you can focus on analysis and strategy.
• Real-time updates: Stay agile when scope changes, so your estimates can update quickly without the hassle.
• Collaboration without silos: With a single source of truth for your preconstruction workflows, including document management, takeoff, and estimating, everything is organized, accessible, and connected across teams.

Bottom line? Autodesk Estimate helps make estimating easier, faster, and more accurate.
